My new MB car can save locations as Three-Words.
How cool is that.
But why this system is superior?
"What3Words" offers several advantages over traditional addressing systems:
• Precision:
It divides the world into 3m x 3m squares, providing pinpoint accuracy that traditional addresses often lack, especially in complex urban environments or remote areas
• Simplicity:
The three-word format is easier to remember and communicate than lengthy street addresses or GPS coordinates, reducing errors in location sharing
• Global Coverage:
What3Words works universally, making it applicable for international travel and logistics, unlike many traditional systems that may vary by region
• Offline Functionality:
Users can access their addresses without internet connectivity, beneficial in areas with poor reception
• Multilingual Support:
The system is available in over 50 languages, enhancing usability across diverse linguistic backgrounds.
Is that a version of GPS, or a totally different system from GPS?
Anyway, sounds like a good Car.

What3Words vs GPS
What3Words is a separate system that uses GPS coordinates, but assigns a unique 3-word address to each 3m x 3m square. It's not a replacement for GPS, but rather a complementary system for easier location sharing. Source: What3Words
It can be used in conjunction with GPS for more precise navigation.
